I needed that! I penduluum from, "Ok God this blog is yours, do with it what you please." to posting it on Facebook, joining many of the things that are supposed to boost my blogs online presence…I need to write for God and share my stories with others. I'm glad you are having success!

Google Reader is my friend!!! All my blogs are listed and it alerts me when there are new posts. So I don't have to check individual blogs everyday! Just an FYI

the most challenging thing for me is figuring out what to write each day and also ecideing if I should write something each day, something that helps me is as I see stuff or think about different things throughout the day I write it down so when I sit down to write that days entry I dont stare aimlessly at the computer but have a list of things to pick from. this advice is probably simple and obvious but hey you never know. http://velvetgsus.blogspot.com/ thats right shameless plug so eveyone can see how lazy I am in my blog posts

Very cool
all about giving and not getting – a appropriate subject for Christmas?
I can't offer any secrets, other than "Its a Journey, not a destination"
besides I'm the guys that looks at his stats and shakes his head because they are ridiculously low.
"To be honest", I say in whispered tones, "I am sure some hacker is running redirect scripts to divert visits and comments on my site"
"I tell you, it;s a conspiracy"

I think of blogging (personal-style, as opposed to the more professional shiny deal you've got going here) as little more than record-keeping of sorts. The internet specifically and life generally are full of interesting things to see & do. I like to take note of those things. Occasionally, I want to record my thoughts about said things, or just remember what I was thinking about when I found/did it.

That's what The Wordle Bible is about for me. I'm a word person, and I love visual things, so Wordles really struck a nerve with me, in a good way. I love the Bible, too, and I love perspective, and I thought it'd be fun to see what the Bible looks like through a new pair of glasses. Boil it down, though, and it's just record-keeping. I'm doing something interesting to me, and if no more than a few of my Facebook friends ever see it, that's ok.

(I'm finally getting around to re-subscribing to SCL–we moved into our first house a few months ago, and I thinned out my internet reading & activities pretty extensively, because I just didn't have the time. Things are slowing down a bit now, though, so I'm carefully adding things back on to my plate. Almost forgot how much fun your blog is.)

1) Post several times a week.
2) Keep it relatively short.
3) Post a picture(s) to accompany it.

I was a great blogger and have great intentions. haha.
I need to keep to my own rules.
Leaving them with more is great though Jon!!

A very excellent post. I'm surprised no else has uncovered this before! I had a personal blog before but after 3 years I quit because I was annoyed no one was reading it. About a month and a half ago I started a new blog called Mike Ideas that just has Ideas that I have about stuff. I get like 200+ hits a DAY and still growing and now I know why. This totally makes sense. Complete strangers aren't interested in photos of your great aunts dog. That's what Facebook is for.
